The original Deus Ex is right at the top of my list of all-time favorite games. It occupies a spot sandwiched between Fallout 2 and the Age of Empires series, so saying I'm a fan of Warren Spector's baby is an understatement on par with saying you're currently thinking about opening a new tab to look at pornography.

After hearing about it this morning from Gamasutra's Leigh Alexander -- the Brian Williams to J. Chobot's Oprah -- my brain was filled with horrific visions of what an abortion Deus Ex 3 would inevitably be. Thanks to this trailer, and its suspended fetus, I'm beginning to think "abortion" is the most appropriate shard of pre-release hype I can apply to this thing.

Deus Ex 3: Because it's illegal for us to offer blowjobs for cash.

Ugh, even the trailer makes the game look like straight to DVD material.

When I first heard about this I was very excited, but then I realized they will ruin it anyway, and then I wept and started cutting myself.

True story.

No no no! The first Deus Ex is on my top five list of the greatest games ever, and the second one was at least fun (albeit silly) but this..? If this quality downfall of the series i suspect *points at graph with stick* that you actually have to physically dig yourself down to hell to measure how bad this will be.

After some thinking, I do believe that this will be the "Sim City Societies" of the series.

Yeah, that looks shitty. What's worse is that I've never gotten around to playing the original. I'm downloading it now. Sadly, it'll probably go on my pile of Retro games I've yet to finish, like Fallout and FF6. Damn, getting gamer cred is like a job.

I don't see why this makes the game look that bad. I love the original and hated Invisible War. I doubt this game will be good but most of the time teaser trailers end up looking nothing like anything...they are just there to get more attention than some text.

Deus Ex was a great game. Tons of memories on that one, but I avoided the resquel like the plague due to the reviews. I hope for the best.

Isn't it a little early to judge the game based on a CGI trailer showing no actual game play, storyline or anything loosely related to the actual game.

I'm pretty sure this will be another great IP being raped to sell a crap game... but you never know, they could pull off something good...

Deus Ex was a game that I missed and I've wanted to go back and play it but I've heard the graphics haven't aged well and that it's tough for newcomers to enjoy because of it.

Complete bullshit. Everyone knows all self respecting trailers must start with the phrase "In a world..." Although, the music at the end made me a little hot.

->Eschatos: Playing all the way through fallout and deus ex should factor more highly on your list of things to do than eating, sleeping and hygiene.

Deus Ex sits snuggly at the top of my all-time list too. I could even kinda live with Spector's MEH xbox/pc sequel. But Deus Ex 3 can only be crap without Spector, Eidos can die in a fire for all I care.
ShadowXOR's Avatar
ShadowXOR at 11/26/2007 16:39
ArrestedDeveloper: That is completely false. The graphics are nowhere near bad enough to not go back and play it. I'd say Deus Ex and System Shock 2 are two of the few 3D games that have graphics still tolerable. Sure it is a little bland but it is LEAGUES away from unenjoyable.

This will probably suck but it's ok. Mass Effect is giving me the same feeling I got from Deus Ex so long ago. I'm getting so involved and it has the same sort of atmosphere. The music all does it for me.
So just play Mass Effect while pretending you're JC Denton.

As long as the writing is better than the second game. Honestly, the gameplay didn't really change that much in DE2. It's just that the story was utter bullcrap of Dale Gribble proportions.

Could they have at least waited for me to finish the tutorial area before the OMGSECRETSOCIETYULTERIORMOTIVE hit me in the face with a brick? I would have appreciated that.

After the travisty that was Deus Ex: Invisible War, I am a little concerned. I had high hopes for the last one only to have them dashed upon ground. Let's hope they have learned from their mistakes this time. Rule #1: No whinny, crybaby bitches in the lead role plz. JC was pimp, Alex was a little bitch.

Guys i dont want to be flamed but that trailer says nothing about the game... lets wait and see. Also invisible war was sort of OK if you installed the patch to get over the technical problems.

Listen, Nex, I realize that you want to get in Leigh's pants, but comparing her to Brian Williams? That's just too far. Brian Williams has no equal. Brian Williams fucks people up. You don't screw with Brian Williams. Brian Williams destroys faces.

Sheesh...I'll admit I'm also worried about this new Deus Ex title, but I'm not going to abandon all hope quite yet. I'll do my best to remain naive enough to think this might not suck or that Warren Spector will majestically fly to Eidos, burst through the wall, and use his super powers to make the game awesome.

HIVE MIND, REPORT.

But really, this sounds awesome. Caveat developor, I will have to kill everyone at Eidos ON PRINCIPLE if this sucks. Sorry guys, there are certain rules of life a man just can't break.
